what a surprise. irosie again has intimate inside knowledge.no, what i find funny is your assertion that A) milk bottling facilities have security that approaches nuclear reactors and B) that a few grains of polonium in a milk tank could kill thousands.i know you think you have a point, I'm just not sure what you think it is
Jillian and Moonie-----are a bit baffled by the issue of the use of radioactive isotopes in terrorism. ----fret not-----the homeland security people have a firm GRIP on the concept. I will provide a hint------the milk we, well I do-----and the school kids drink------is "made" but storing the stuff withdrawn from the udders of cows and in HUGE TANKS----it is co-mingled----and processed and packed up----etc. Our huge milk tanks are guarded with a level of security approaching------nuclear reactors. The Iranians (and Hezbollah---infecting just about most of the world) have the means to produce polonium----
a few grains of which ----thrown in a milk tank -----could dispatch a few thousand milk drinkers. Anthrax is baby stuff in comparison
Oggie of the bare ass------finds the prospect of a few thousand radioactive kids in the USA----"FUNNY"
i find that nonsense funny. i also can't understand what you think it has to do with anything
homeland security is an issue for health care workers----I am a
retired health care worker----therefore educated in the issue of
potential terrorism in the USA. ----a few grains of polonium of various highly radioactive isotopes could poison a whole town.
You find the issue funny but USA homeland security does not.
Iran has everything it needs to MAKE POLONIUM in cyclotrons-----its no big deal. One of the issues of concern is the water supply----another is the milk supply. In case of an event----ignore all instructions which will be transmitted over radio or----yelled out thru bullhorns thru the streets so that you
can drop dead right away
polonium is a very deadly substance. but nobody is producing it, and iran certainly can't produce it now with the oversight in place.
israel on the other hand could produce polonium with ease. are you saying we should be concerned that israel will try to poison the milk supply?
Iran is a big place, just like Iraq was. so why cant they have set up a plant in the desert to enrich ore and produce polonium. Easy enough to do when you realise Russia did it for many years
